FBI Obtains Warrant to Begin Searching 650k Emails on Weiner’s Laptop

The FBI obtained a warrant to read the emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop related to its probe of Hillary Clinton’s private server, according to NBC News.

While the emails were on a laptop already had in the FBI’s custody, the original warrant pertained only to allegations that Weiner had exchanged sexual text messages with an underage girl from the U.K.

With the new warrant, agents will be able to search the 650,000 emails found on the laptop, including many from Clinton’s private server. Reports say that Weiner’s estranged wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, used the laptop as well.

It didn’t take long for the Clinton campaign and its Democrat surrogates to go after FBI Director James Comey for reopening the investigation into Clinton’s handling of classified information.

“Your actions in recent months have demonstrated a disturbing double standard for the treatment of sensitive information, with what appears to be clear intent to aid one political party over another,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid wrote in a letter to Comey. “I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act.”

The Hatch Act is a federal law preventing government officials from using their power to influence elections. Apparently, even investigating Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information is illegal — according to Democrts.

Reid also manage to plumb one of the Democrats’ newest obsessions: the Russians.

“it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination” between Trump’s campaign and Putin’s Russia, Reid accused in the document,

How this is pertinent to Hillary Clinton’s email, I have no idea. An ex-congressman who used to get his sexual kicks under the internet screen name of “Carlos Danger” turns out to have possible emails on a computer he shared with Clinton’s right-hand woman, and Harry Reid tries to make the conversation about alleged ties between the Russians and Donald Trump.

I’d like to point out that the last politician who got this much mileage out of flogging the Russkies was Joseph McCarthy. Is this the company Harry Reid really wants to go down with?

Whatever the case, one thing’s for sure — there are 650,000 possibilities of a smoking gun sitting on Carlos Danger’s computer, which definitely doesn’t look good for Hillary Clinton.
